Dugan AI is my Pittsburgh-area practice. I am Chris Dugan, and I work in person with owner-led businesses and realtors in Greater Pittsburgh, the South Hills, and Washington County. I build websites and practical business apps, and I help businesses strengthen what search engines, maps and AI platforms can find and verify. Ownership, running costs and support are agreed in your proposal.
No. I define one need with you, build a website, an app or a fix in your existing tools, test it against real work and hand it over. I do not sell a bundled ad campaign and voice-agent package, and I do not run a managed platform. Every project has a fixed scope.
Yes. Access and ownership stay with the client. Work is done in your accounts and tools, with your administrative control preserved. At handoff you receive written guidance so your team can run and maintain what was built. Your proposal lists what you own and what it costs to run.
Getting started
An AI advisor identifies the workflows or visibility gaps costing the business the most, builds the priority layer on the client's own accounts and tools, validates the result, and hands ownership to the client. Dugan AI works in person across the South Hills and Greater Pittsburgh.
There are two starting points. The free AI Visibility Snapshot shows what AI platforms currently understand about your business. For a website, an app or anything else, choose Discuss a Project to book a free 15-minute call.

The Website Build is starting at $3,500. A website built around your services and the way people inquire or book. Up to five pages, one inquiry or booking flow, client-approved content, two revision rounds and training. The Website + Client Journey is starting at $5,500. A website plus the client journey behind it. Up to eight pages, one CMS collection and one defined connection to an existing tool. No custom application is included. Services and pricing.
The Application Blueprint is $950. A fixed-fee plan for one workflow before anything is built: workflow and roles, prototype direction, requirements, a running-cost estimate and a build proposal. The fee is credited once against a build of the same scope. Services and pricing.
Ongoing support is optional. Your proposal identifies what you own, which accounts you control and what it costs to run. Website care is optional. Applications have an agreed operating plan, whether I support them or hand them over to a qualified provider. Website care is $175/month if you want it. Application operations start from $450/month per app, with infrastructure and usage listed separately.
I build a defined asset your business owns, and your proposal sets how it runs after launch: you manage it, I support it, or a qualified provider takes it over. A managed agency or platform keeps operating its own system for an ongoing fee.
I do not take open-ended development. Every project has a defined problem, scope, timeline and handoff, and any ongoing support is scoped separately. I do not promise leads, rankings or revenue.

Visibility
No. No one can guarantee that. The work makes the public record more consistent and measurable, but platforms control their own results.
It is whether search engines, maps, and AI platforms can find, understand, and verify a business when someone asks for a service in the area. It depends on consistent entity signals: the Google Business Profile, name and phone accuracy, reviews, and structured data.
Every audit closes with a summary of what the work revealed about the business's operations, and an optional free 15-minute conversation about what to do next. The summary is factual. It contains no outcome promises.
Practical details
No. The operating model is simple: the client drives the clicks and the advisor directs the work. Systems are built on the tools the client already uses.
